Correct answer

  • CSí, hasta un 15 % de la longitud del vehículo.Yes, up to 15 % of the vehicle's length.
Explanation

According to Article 15 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), a car's load may stick out at the back by up to 10% of the vehicle's length, and by up to 15% in the case of indivisible loads. This applies to vehicles not used only for carrying goods, such as cars. So the correct answer is yes, the load may stick out at the back by up to 15% of the vehicle's length.
